trees always grow as straight as an arrow, without any 
knots, to the height of over 100 feet. Sugi has been 
much used in temple building, and there has shown its 
marvelous resisting power. 
"The illustration- shows an avenue which has evidently 
been planted, but your correspondent has seen the trees 
grow in natural groves as close together as the picture 
shows them, one tall shaft next to the other, all of even 
height, branchless, to a height of 100 feet or more, as 
straight as trees can be, shooting perpendicularly out of 
the fertile soil. Imagine large tracts of hundreds of 
acres planted with this tree where they would grow 
as fast as here, attaining a diameter of one foot in 25 to 
30 years; a more profitable tree could hardly be thought of." 
The Cryptomeria thrives well in a dry, hot climate; 
therefore it is just the tree for this State. It is of rapid 
growth, and is very ornamental as a young tree. 4 and 
5-inch pots, 2 to iy 2 feet, 60c each; $4.00 per 10; $30.00 
per 100. 
DAPHNES 
The Daphnes are, we think, very familiar to most of our 
readers. To those who do not know them we will try 
and describe them. They are evergreens; the leaves 
are very pretty; but it is the flowers that attract attention 
when they are in blossom in early spring; they are small, 
sweetly scented, and appear in great profusion. They 
come in two separate colors. White, l}4 feet, $1.00 
each; 3^eet, $2.50 each; Pink, iy 2 feet, $1.00 each. 
BIOSMA ALBA (Breath of Heaven). This shrub never attains 
large proportions. It produces small white star-shaped flowers 
in great numbers. The foliage when bruised emits a sweet 
fragrance. 4-ineh pots, 10 to 12 inches, 30c each; Bailed, 
1 foot, 50c each; 1 % feet, bushy, 75c each. $6.00 per 10. 
EUGENIA APICULATA. A very pretty shrub, of small growth, 
with pretty sweet smelling white flowers, something like the 
myrtle. 4-inch pots, 35c each. 
'EUCALYPTI 
(Ecualyptus means "Well concealed" refering to the complete 
manner in which the essential organs of the flowers are concealed.) 
There is no doubt in our mind but that the Eucalypti 
are destined to become the forest tree for this State, 
just as the Redwood and Big Tree have been in the 
past. They are all native's of Australia, the climate of 
which in many respects is similar to our own. The 
rapidity of growth, the durability of the timber and 
adaptability to almost any California climate or soil 
are recommendations which appeal very forcibly to us. 
AMYGDALINA, Pepper Gum. Belonging to this variety are the 
tallest trees in the world. In Gippsland, Australia, are trees 
over 500 feet in height; makes first-class timber for flooring, 
boards, scantling, etc., and is well suited for avenue planting; 
yields more essential oil than any other variety. Pot grown, 
2 feet, 25c each; $2.00 per 10. 
CREBRA, Ironbark. A moderate sized tree. Timber red, very 
valuable, hard, tough, inlocked and strong; much esteemed by 
coach-builders and wheelwrights for poles and shafts of car- 
riages, and spokes and naves of wheels; also for piles and railway 
sleepers, and in the construction of bridges. Thrives well inland 
in open forests and on gravelly ridges. Endures minimum tem- 
peratures of 18 to 20 degrees and maximum of 110 to 118 degrees. 
Pot grown, 2 to 3 feet, 25c each; $2.00 per 10. 
CAMBAGEII. A tree about 80 to 100 feet high and 3 to 4 feet 
diameter. Grows well in hilly or mountainous country. Timber 
hard and close grained; used for fencing material, building pur- 
poses and makes good fuel. Transplanted in boxes, 2 years, 
$2.50 per loo. 
CITRIODORA, Lemon-Scented Gum. A unique variety; leaves 
highly perfumed, like Lemon Verbena. Pot grown, 25c each. 
CORIACEA, White Gum. A tree of 80 to 100 feet in height and 4 
feet diameter, of handsome appearance, with drooping branches. 
The foliage is eaten by cattle and sheep in dry seasons. It is a 
very hardy Eucalypt, and grows well in swampy lowlands, and 
thrives in cold climates, and is not affected by snow, but will not 
stand a hot, drv atmosphere. Timber used for building and 
fencing purposes. Transplanted in boxes, 2 years, $2.50 
per 100. 
CORYNOCALYX, Sugar Gum. Very ornamental; rapid growing; 
with dark green leaves ; timber very durable and used for railroad 
ties. This gum will grow in a variety of'climates; it thrives near 
the coast and grows equally well in parts of Southern Arizona. 
It is of course benefited by moisture, but endures a great amount 
of drought; stands intense heat of summer and the frosts of most 
winters, enduring a maximum temperature of 110 degrees to 
115 degrees F. and a minimum of 20 degrees to 25 degrees. 
Transplanted in boxes, $2.50 per 100; $20.00 per 1000; 
pot grown, 2 to 3 feet, 30c each, $2.50 per 10. 
FICIFOLIA, Scarlet-flowering Gum. A beautiful sort, bearing 
lovely scarlet flowers, thick leathery leaves; hardy only in 
warmer sections. Pot grown, 1 'A feet-, 75c each. 
GLOBULUS, Tasmanian Blue Gum. One of the most useful of 
all and of very rapid growth. Adapts itself to a variety of 
climatic conditions. It thrives in moist, warm regions and hot, 
dry ones; it succeeds in moist lowlands and dry stony uplands. 
Excellent for removing stagnant water. Resistant to both 
quite high and low temperatures. Great extremes always 
excepted; if freezing weather continues for any length of time, 
injury to young growth, but not permanent, as it rapidly out- 
grows this. Most extensively planted of any sort. Trans- 
planted in boxes, $2.25 per box (averaging 85 to 90 in box) ; 
$20.00 per 1000; pot grown, XH to 2 feet, 15c each; $1.25 
per 10; $10.00 per 100; pot grown, to 3 feet, 25c each; 
$2.00 per 10; $15.00 per 100; pot grown, 3 to 4 feet, 
30c each; $2.50 per 10. 
N. B. — Pot grown plants we can recommend for various reasons. 
For shipping they are knocked out of the pots, without, disturbing 
or injuring the roots, hence no loss ensues in transplanting. 
They are light and cost of transportation is therefore low. 
HEMIPHLOIA, Gray Box. Wood very hard, strong and durable 
above ground; also makes a first class fuel. At Santa Barbara 
this variety has attained a height of 80 feet and a diameter of 
18 inches in 20 years. This Eucalyptus thrives near the coast 
and in the hot dry valleys of the interior. Endures a maximum 
temperature of 110 to 115 degrees and a minimum of 15 degrees 
to 20 degrees. Transplanted in boxes, 2 years, $2.50 per 
100. 
MARGINATA, The Jarrah of West Australia. Famed for its 
indestructibility; used largely for shipbuilding, railway sleeper,',, 
piles for jetties, and all purposes where strength and durability 
are required. This variety does not thrive near the coast and 
only fairly well in the valley. Pot grown, 1H to 2 feet, 20c 
each; $1.50 per 10.

We can make special prices on large lots
